Rhys Veen is a Bunbury-based physiotherapist, business owner, husband, and new dad and this conversation goes well beyond injuries and rehab.

Rhys shares his journey from uni graduate to clinic owner, how he thinks about money, growth, and hiring, and what changes when you’re responsible for both a business and a family. We also get into entrepreneurship ceilings, value, faith, identity, and the unexpected similarities between starting a business and becoming a parent.

Amy shares the full story of losing her salon in a fire that wasn’t just accidental damage but collateral from criminal activity next door. We unpack the shock of waking up to your entire livelihood gone, the pressure of still showing up for clients and staff, and the mental toll of having to “be strong” when all you really want is a break.

This conversation goes far beyond the fire. We talk about community, legacy, faith, burnout, leadership, and what it really means to run a values-driven business in a small town. Amy opens up about honouring $15,000 worth of gift vouchers from another closed business, the guilt of staff losing their tools overnight, and the strange strength that comes from being forced to start again.

In this episode, I’m joined by Josh Wood for a wide-ranging conversation that moves well beyond finance.

We talk about the reality of working with banks, why human advice still matters in an AI-heavy world, and how confidence, preparation, and adaptability shape everything from business to endurance sport. Josh shares his background in mortgage broking, triathlon, and performance, plus some brutally honest perspectives on stress, money, training, relationships, and long-term thinking.

This is a grounded, real conversation about doing hard things, backing yourself, and building a life that actually fits — not just one that looks good on paper.
